As you may or may not know, I sometimes start new books before I finish old ones, and while I usually manage to keep the total number of books-on-the-go fairly low, once in a while I need to make a concerted effort to finish things I started before starting new ones. So I'm in the middle of that now, ending up with a bit of a mish-mash this time around. Also, I really need to write these posts more often, as I think I sometimes forget to list books that I finish and put away and they blend back into the shelves. But anyway, here are the things I finished recently.
- Animal Skulls: A Guide to North American Species by Mark Elbroch (non-fiction) buy from amazon
- The Decorative Illustration of Books by Walter Crane (non-fiction) buy from amazon
- The Swiss Family Robinson by Jean Rudolph Wyss (fiction) buy from amazon
- Fitcher's Brides by Gregory Frost (fiction) buy from amazon
- Sunshine by Robin McKinley (fiction) buy from amazon
- The Barnum Museum by Steven Millhauser (fiction) buy from amazon
- Good Blood by Aaron Elkins (fiction) buy from amazon
- Samurai Crusader: Sunrise over Shanghai story by Hiroi Oji, art by Ryoichi Ikegami (comics/graphic novel) buy from amazon
Actually, looking back at this list, not that many of them are ones I started a while ago and then had to finish. In fact, most of them are ones I picked up and read right through because I didn't feel like reading the ones I'd already started. Which means my to-finish pile isn't getting smaller very fast. Hmmmm.And here are a couple I also read, but which were mostly art, so they don't get counted in the 50 Books thing:
- The Fantastic Paintings of Charles & William Heath Robinson edited by David Larkin buy from amazon
- Rackham's Color Illustrations for Wagner's "Ring" introduction by James Spero buy from amazon
